YT threw a video on this topic up for me, and I went "oh no, no more Zero/Extra Punctuation?" Then the video mentioned the new channel. I immediately bookmarked it. I do agree with Wormerine that Zero P. series hasn't been as good lately (but Extra was still interesting) but still, I like his snark in those. And yeah, his stuff is the only reason I knew Escapist existed. >.> It's nice to hear of the solidarity of their team tho. I wish them luck. 1 “Things are as they are.

It also may point to piss-poor marketing as a major culprit here.

Extra Punctuation, though, has been lots of fun. I hope Yahtzee will find a way to do something that feels less formulaic than ZP have been for last couple years. Given how long ZP had been going for, some... ... Over a decade, right? ... Maybe... 15 years or so? The point is that it was a very long running series. Given how long Yahtzee had been doing ZP, a drop in quality was almost guaranteed. You just can't keep up a high level for that long realistically. I still think ZP was pretty good toward the end. Not nearly as good as 7 or 8 years ago, sure, but entertaining enough.

Yes, they do matter because I do still place significance in overall gamers feedback and reviews from certain gaming journalists But not with every game and my personal views are the most important. For example I didnt enjoy Disco Elysium despite being highly rated by many But I have certain rules, for example I never play Bethesda games until 6-9 months irrespective of any initial positive reviews 1 "Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely: and pined his loss” John Milton "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” - George Bernard Shaw "What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived.

I wanna eat bacon, and butter, and buckets of cheese, okay?! I wanna smoke a Cuban cigar the size of Cincinnati in the non-smoking section!
